Certification decision · September 21, 2023

DCJS decertification appeal

Virginia Criminal Justice Services Board · Executive Committee minutes

Role in this record: Officer whose certification appeal was considered.

The official minutes identify Tasha Gordon with Newport News Police Department.

Documented outcome: Executive Committee unanimously upheld decertification on September 21, 2023.

The underlying act, original effective date and later reinstatement/judicial review were not obtained. This is not a verified Brady/Giglio listing.

Identity match & review date

Primary DCJS minutes give full first/last name and NNPD agency. No exact name appears in the current base or supplemental directory. Do not join to Monique Gordon, William Gordon or an old sheriff biography based only on surname or LinkedIn. Reviewed October 10, 2026.

Brady/Giglio status has not been established here. A lawsuit, decertification decision or third-party database entry does not by itself establish inclusion on a prosecutor’s list. List access and research gaps.

Notes

No additional published note is attached to this profile.
